Are you in a hurry ? No problem. You can stream and download this album for free, also buy it in CD-quality format or on CD, or preorder the vinyl, straight from the band's website, Fukked-up.de.
If I had to sum up, and you may know that I like to sum up sometime... If you want my opinion (or even if you don't want it I'll provide it now), this album is radiating a dark melancholy. I would think that Fukked Up, with this release, understood something about itself, and the result is even better than usual. The previous releases from this band were already among the best content you can find around currently.
If you never heard about Fukked Up, this is a German grunge band, singing in English, that started publishing music two years ago. Their first EP, These Guys Are, immediately struck me as as close as possible to real, original, undiluted 90's grunge sound, especially Nirvana's one. The band is producing its music from their rehearsal and studio room, using free software exclusively, and released everything until now under an open licence, which allows you among other things to make copies of their records for your friends, which is nice.
With the next release, the album "do this/do that", I knew we had a serious problem, and, as I wrote about this release a few time ago, don't be surprised if you wake up one day to discover that they eat the music world for their breakfast.
Because Fukked Up is awesome, and, with this new album, they are better than ever. The band, I think, learned much over years, and I really think that with this release, if there's still real music lovers around, Fukked Up shall become big, really big. So much talent cannot be forever hidden, you can be sure. The band was already really close to reach a really broad audience when the first single excerpt from this album, "What It Means To Me", was released alongside with live videos. Today, the band unveils the whole album, and if I was one of the current superstars of what is used to be called music, I would start to feel a bit afraid for the future of my little business.
Just because this album perfectly define what an excellent album should be, and, whoever you are, you should give a listen to it.
